Democrats have been walking a fine line of publicly opposing super PACs while privately acting as boosters of the group. Reid and Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) have all attended Majority PAC fundraisers in New York, Chicago, Phoenix and other cities.

Overall, the super PAC raised $2.4 million in July, receiving $1 million from the building trade unions super PAC Working for Americans. Blum Capital Partner’s Richard Blum contributed $200,000, and Zumiez Chairman Thomas Campion and William Little, Jr. both contributed $100,000. Lobbying firm Elmendorf Strategies also pitched in $10,000.

Majority PAC spent $2.7 million on independent expenditures in July, opposing Republican candidates Richard Mourdock in Indiana, John Brunner of Missouri, former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson and Rep. Richard Berg of North Dakota. The group also made expenditures opposing Republican candidates Josh Mandel of Ohio, Eric Hovde of Wisconsin and and former Sen. George Allen (Va.).

Mitt Romney was addressing a crowd in Prattville, Alabama this past Monday when he stated: "I understand how difficult it can be for an African-American in today’s society. In fact, I can relate to black people very well indeed. My ancestors once owned slaves, and it is in my lineage to work closely with the black community..just because they were freed over a century ago doesn’t mean they can now be freeloaders. They need to be told to work hard."

What a noble sentiment! This kind of marvelous rhetoric and cojones to tell it like it is is exactly why we need Mitt as President! While Oblamehimforitall would give free health care to the poor, Mitt knows that this will simply lead to more laziness and dysfunction in that community than we already see. Mitt knows that they need to be told to work hard, and you do not do that by giving them things for free! When Mitt ends Medicare, Socialist Security, free roads, and free education, everyone will know the value of everything in this country again! It will appear to cost more, but with the RICH no longer enslaved to the crushing burden of FIFTEEN PERCENT CAPITAL GAINS taxes, we will be willing to provide more jobs and reduce the price of commodities. So it will all work out only a little worse for the poor -but they will have the sense of PRIDE that comes when you do a good job and are rewarded by your boss!

It is also good to see Mitt stand by Ryan's loyal ally Akin - just because a man gets taken out of context by the wolfpack mainstream press, is not a reason for Mitt and Paul to abandon him! Both Mitt and Paul support personhood beginning at the time of conception and we cannot blame that precious little life for the sins of his father!

More money to fund the lies and deceit of a man that grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii with no clue on how this country works except for it's welfare system. Be afraid people - be very afraid. Generations of hard working people have already been doomed by the last three and a half years.

Boxer - you wrinkled faced ugly old Vietnam protesting hag from another century that matters nothing to us people suffering today under your leaders economy - give us that money so we can live ,eat and survive. You don't deserve wealth !!! You stole it from us taxpayers and a younger era. . All of you wealthy career politicians need to give it up !!! No wealthy !!!! Move to Alviso and let us all toss swamp water in that football helmet you call hair. If you want to make a statement - give it all up and be proud of yourself for a change.

"SUMMERTIME BLUES FOR DRIVERS: GAS AT AUGUST RECORD BY SANDY SHORE AP BUSINESS WRITER You may pay more than ever for a late-summer drive. U.S. drivers paid an average of $3.72 per gallon on Monday. That's the highest price ever on this date, according to auto club AAA, a shade above the $3.717 average on Aug. 20, 2008. A year ago, the average was $3.578." OBAMA SHUT DOWN THE OIL PIPELINE AND DOMESTIC DRILLING. EVERYBODY KNOWS IT. ALL THE SLEAZY CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS IN THE WORLD WILL NOT MAKE HARD WORKING CITIZENS GOING BROKE AT THE PUMP FORGET THAT.

It is immaterial if demo-crats give twnty billon dollars because the only thng they can spend it on is hate filled attack ads and most Aericans are now or will soon be so turned off over attack ads that the demo-crats will lose. Their party can only point to higher and higher unemploment , spend spend spend, tax tax tax, and telling average Amricans to go to the back of the liberal demo-crat bus and shut up as accomplishments under a leader that is totally and fatally flawd. Spend more Reid and boxer. Waste your money and your supporters money. America has seen your true faces and it has scared the H*ll out of them. November cannot come fast enough to end this nightmare of demo-cat and obama RULE AS MICHELLE LOVES TO SHOUT.

Boxer and Feinstein hand out some of their wealth from selling legislation - we are so fortunate to have such people in congress that can toss $450 thousand dollar bills around. Obama can do it, Barney Frank did it and Jesse Jr. is in hiding.

Another half a million dollars wasted on a sinking Democratic ship. Ha! Ha! I've never seen more disgusting faces in my life, from these reliably Liberal Democratic clones, other than perhaps Botox Nancy Pelosi. Yes, Nancy, tens millions of Americans are disgusted at the Democratic debacle and they are practically throwing up because of what she and her ilk have wreaked upon the country we love. The Democratic Party is over--they are all national disgraces--all career politicians desperate to keep their fading majority in the Senate. The Democratic Party's power-grab has been a living nightmare for millions upon millions of worried citizens. The Democratic Party's incomprehensible choice of "Hope and Change" Barack Obama for president is destined to bcome a sorry chapter in the history books. Barack Obama has conclusively proven to be the worst president in American history. If you don't believe it now, there are now just 76 days (1,838 hours) until Election Day, Tuesday, November 6th, 2012, when a tidalwave of public support for the Republicans and Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will have handily won over Obama. There are almost no conservatives or moderates left in the Democratic Party, which has been hijacked by the the Far Left and has become a cesspool of corruptionand immoral policies. If you think marriage should only be between one man and one woman, you are not welcome in the Democratic Party, whose platform now, laughable, includes support for homosexual "marriage". Our Founding Fathers are turning over in their graves.

Obama had a 54-39 lead over Romney in the women's vote in a major poll about 3 weeks ago. Other polls show the gap running at 9 percent to 17 percent.

I predict the next few polls will show that gap widening by a couple points. I think Obama could eventually win 56% of the women's vote. A little over half the voters in November will be women.

With only 48% of all households now occupied by married couples (first time in U.S. history it dropped below 50%), that gender gap could grow wider. With such a high percentage of single moms, never married females, and single females in unmarried partner relationships, Obama could get up to 57% or 58% of the women's vote.

All of this because of the horrible GOP brand as they have continued their campaign of the downgrading of women through their vile language, 1950s attitudes. and extreme anti-women policies.

Not looking very good for Mittens and Paulie.

Most recent Gallup and Rasmussen polls...Romney up 2 and 1 respectively. Most recent Purple Strategies and Rasmussen polls: WI, NC, OH, VA, FL, IA...Romney up. Not looking very good for Obie, the boy king, and Joe 'plugs' the clown. They've gone from hope and change to: lies and blame or is it hopelessness and chains. All the lies, deception, blame, and distortion don't change a 43% approval rating, 56% of voters who say they are not better off than they were 4 years ago and the 61% who think the country is moving in the wrong direction. It's turn out the lights, the party's over for the incumbent hacks in the WH.
